CONCEPT OVERVIEW】

CKD (Complete Knocked Down) products are shipped as fully disassembled components,
requiring importers to assemble all parts from scratch; while transportation costs are high, tariff benefits are more substantial.
Assembly and debugging are performed at local factories before sale, effectively reducing trade risks and meeting localized requirements.
This option is suitable for customers with strong local assembly capabilities and cleanroom facilities.

SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) products feature pre-assembled core components (e.g., screens, motherboards),
requiring only local assembly of casings and accessories to minimize transportation losses and assembly complexity.
Ideal for customers with limited resources who seek rapid localized production.


【Production Flow】

I. Demand Analysis and Material Planning
Customer requirement confirmation:
 Assess the customer's on-site production environment, supporting equipment,
personnel allocation, and assembly capabilities to determine whether CKD or SKD is the recommended solution.

Internal company response mechanism: The R&D department provides CKD or SKD BOM lists,
develops packaging plans and quantity specifications, and provides feedback to the client.
The engineering department delivers detailed product assembly SOP documents along with accompanying assembly videos for client review,
addressing any client inquiries through communication for refinement.



2. Assembly Verification of Sample Units and Generation of Process Documentation

Research and development assembly/prototyping verification: Assemble a complete prototype according to project requirements.
Use the prototype to verify the accuracy of BOM materials and generate test reports for overall system parameters
(including but not limited to: optical parameter tests, system performance tests, and prototype evaluation reports).
The final unit undergoes comprehensive environmental testing and yields corresponding reliability test reports
(including but not limited to: power-on/off tests, high/low temperature storage tests, high/low temperature load tests,
constant humidity/temperature tests, temperature variation tests, vibration tests, drop tests, and actual road performance tests).

Export the engineering assembly process documents: SOP files and assembly videos.


3. Quality Control of Incoming Materials and Pre-Assembled Components
Incoming material inspection (IQC): Conduct comprehensive or random inspections of all incoming raw materials
(e.g., OCs, power boards, motherboards, light strips, touch frames, cameras, and associated small boards)
as well as targeted inspections for critical components (e.g., tempered glass, profiles, back panels, sheet metal, outer boxes).

SKD modular pre-installation: Production follows work orders and SOPs for pre-assembling components
(e.g., complete unit assembly – all parts except the motherboard, power board, or OC are assembled).

Quality inspection, first-piece inspection, and vibration testing: Conduct regular inspections on pre-assembled modules
on the production line to ensure SKD semi-finished products meet quality standards upon leaving the factory.


4. Packaging Solution Design and Validation
Differentiated packaging design:  
– Structural components such as profiles and sheet metal → Wooden frames ensure deformation resistance;
– OC (Original Container): LCD-based primary packaging boxes equipped with pallet slots for easy handling and damage prevention.

Packaging validation (simulated transport test): Conduct vibration and drop tests on the first batch of packaging.


5. Final inspection before shipment and preparation of customs clearance documents
Pre-delivery inspection (OQC): Conduct random unpacking checks on SKD assemblies to verify the correct number of modules,
proper appearance, and accurate labeling.  

Export package preparation: 
-Hazardous goods declaration (if containing lithium batteries)
-Certificate of origin and HS code pre-classification


6. Logistics Loading
Loading plan: Provide stacking diagrams inside containers or trucks to prevent damage during transportation.  

7. Customer on-site assembly and technical support
Remote guidance: Provide assembly demonstration videos and assembly SOPs.
Offer remote video guidance or dispatch engineers for on-site assistance.


8. Feedback and Continuous Improvement
Assembly feedback: Track the time required for customer assembly, identified difficulties, and any missing or damaged materials.
Internal review: The Quality Department, Engineering Department,
and Production Department provide analysis feedback to update SOPs,  packaging specifications, or BOMs.  

Rapid spare parts replenishment: Establish a dedicated SKD spare parts inventory
and promptly replace damaged or missing components during transportation.
